I need a good disposable glove solution for dumping

[holstein13]

Have any of you found a good disposable glove that you are happy with to keep in your water bay? I've got two problems with the cheap box of gloves I found at Home Depot:

1. They are hard to put on because they are so tight and
2. I haven't found a simple and elegant solution for hanging them on the door inside the bay to keep them dry.

You cannot catch anything from your family's waste, or blood, that you don't already have. How do I know that? My diabetic doc explained it to me. You and your family share so many common things. You have the same stuff in your systems.

When the CG doesn't have full hookups. We use the CG facilities. Why? See above.

This is partially true in that you're unlikely to catch a disease from doing this. However, and a big however, is that you can still get very sick from handling feces, or something that came in contact with feces, even your own. Your gut is full of anaerobic bacteria and you can't live very well without them, but if they find their way to other parts of you, they can make you very miserable. Just a precautionary note, and I don't use gloves either. 🙂

Instead of disposable gloves, I went to Home Depot and bought XL chemical gloves (for fertilizer, etc). $12 and they have lasted me 10/11 yrs.

OK time for some humor. I gave this subject some serious thought and tried to remember what I do.

Seems i remember wiping my hands on my pants after rinsing them, :B

i do have the harbor freight blues in the shop though.

Hey Moms or Dads, never change a baby's diaper until you have soaked the child in bleach for at least a hour! You could die from touching or smelling that horrible toxic stuff that comes out of your child! Amazing!!!

A couple of things I never use gloves, before connecting I wash the CG faucet and CG water connector, when disconnecting I again wash or spray disinfectent on the water faucet and I always Wash my hands after dumping or disconnecting. Reason why I wash faucet is I've seen too many times were people disconnect the water and turn off the faucet with their Dirty gloves, so those of you who wear gloves do you remove your gloves to turn off faucet or do you leave them on? You're are not always protected.

52 years of extensive RV'ing and never used gloves yet and never had any issues, infections, reddening skin or anything detrimental from dumping. The planet Earth still has soap and water on it or if you prefer, antibiotic soaps and/or hand cleaners. Don't want #@$(&^* on your hands, quit shoving your hands down the inside of the slinky or up the sewer pipe! Why do you think there's even such a think as a slinky made for holding tank dumping?

These same germ-o-phobes walk around the dumping area with their shoes or boots and then on their RV interior or store their monkey suits, gloves, and/or dumping foot covers right in inside the confines of their RV's exterior so then they can sleep with them and absorb/breath the fumes that penetrate the walls and the RV air circulation system. Who are they trying to fool? Yup, themselves!

Why are they RV'ing then? Just stay home or in a motel/hotel etc as we all know how spotless and super sanitary they are!

God forbid that they ever step anywhere where an animal had blessed or eat any fish or sea food that lives in their on holding tank since they don't use toilets with holding tanks or eat chicken or fowl who are famous seeking out the tasty morsels left on the ground by others or basically anywhere. WOW! Better not eat any fruits or vegetables either since it's grown in and nourished by deposits left or even sprayed on them! You're gonna DIE!

Some people are simply amazing!!!

now that you, the OP, have read all the pros and cons, no rights or wrongs; it
boils down to you. bottom line, it's your personal choice.

For the people that do not use gloves,,, would you do plumbing repairs on sewage pipes at home without gloves? Or if you hire it out,,, watch the plumber,,,,he uses gloves. Don't know who used the dump facilities before me and I do not know their level of sanitation or contamination,,I have witnessed some really gross dumping procedures, and if bodily fluids can pass disease, then a couple of disposable gloves are worth the price,, And if you feel the need to sit next in line and watch me and chuckle about my gloves.. I'll chuckle with you also!!
Remember,,,"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"... To each his own..

I`ve yet to see a plumber use rubber gloves. leather work gloves yes! but that is only to keep their hands from getting dirty.

As far as diseases go......nature gave us an immune system!

I rarely use gloves to work with the dump procedures, instead I keep a container of disposable disinfective wipes in the compartment which I use to clean my hands when finished. There are many wipes available in pop up plastic containers at Walmart or your local grocery stores.

When I used to buy gloves for the machine shop folks, we found the 8 mil mush better then the cheap thin ones. While you can't get the same brand we used at a reasonable price unless you get bulk, Here's some off Amazon that are 8 mil and come in sizes up to 2XL. Can't vouch for this brand but they might be worth a shot. (50) to a box.

This thread made me realize I need to buy more gloves before I run out!

Harbor Freight!

[down_home]

We buy blue/purple nitrile rubber gloves in a can from Northern Tool. Primary reason is for refueling as diesel won't get through them and tear like latex. So instead of buying both types we just use the nitrile rubber gloves.

Two guys are in the restroom at a factory. They finish their business, one starts to walk out the door without washing his hands. The other guy says,"hey don't you see the sign, all employees must wash hands before returning to work". The other guy replies, "it's okay, I'm not going back to the line, I'm going to lunch". By the way, I wear the harbor freight or Costco disposable gloves, just because they're cheap and it makes me feel better.
